New Parental Test For Down Syndrome.



Over the article I read, it is said that scientist have discovered a non-invasive way to detect chromonal disorders relating to down syndrome. It is basically about how they use a needle to detect it from the uterus, therfor using blood samples that can report any miss carriages or fetus infection. It is a more better way of looking over any abnormal chromosomes or doing it the long way where scientist had to distinguish between maternal and fetal DNA. With this process, they can now count errors in the chromosomes by counting DNA floating around the plasma. Overall it is a efficiant way of preperation and advantage for females who plan to have children and test during thier pregnancies. All the research was done at Stanford University and Lucile packhard hospital in California.
